Synopsis

WASTED SPACE: The Cosmic Collection Hardcover is an out-of-this-world cocktail that’s one part Preacher, one part Star Wars, and a delectable dose of Philip K. Dick shaken well … take a sip and get wasted.

WASTED SPACE: The Cosmic Collection Hardcover, now available in a super-limited slipcase edition!

THE GALAXY IS WRECKED—A COCKTAIL OF WARLORDS, PIRATES, AND TINPOT DICTATORS, STIRRED TO A FRENZY BY AN ALCOHOLIC FORMER PROPHET. TAKE A SIP AND GET WASTED.

Billy Bane is a prophet who got it all wrong, and the galaxy has been burning ever since. All he wants is to waste away in the darkest corner of space with his best pal Dust, a supercharged Fuq bot. But when a new prophet comes calling, Billy is summoned to save the galaxy he's at least partially responsible for destroying. Too bad he couldn't care less.

WASTED SPACE, the groundbreaking, 25-issue pulp space adventure, science fiction saga is collected for the first time ever in WASTED SPACE: The Cosmic Collection Hardcover with foil cover treatment, a sewn-in ribbon bookmark, 672 pages, standing more than 11 inches tall, and weighing in at over 3 pounds. Physicists tell us putting this much story in one place it could collapse the universe.

This is a limited run of only 500, so once this hardcover Cosmic Collection is gone, it'll be the stuff of stardust and legend!

From Michael Moreci (Barbaric, The Plot, Spree, and Revealer - based on the Shudder original movie - all from Vault Comics; Black Star Renegades) and Hayden Sherman (The Few, Cold War, John Carter: The End).

For fans of Preacher, The Boys, Transmetropolitan, Philip K. Dick, and anyone who loves break-neck paced, darkly humorous space adventure!
